Geometry lies at the core of modern mathematics with deep and wide
implications in all other mathematical disciplines. In the last decade
there has been an extraordinary confluence of ideas in mathematics and
theoretical physics brought about by pioneering discoveries in geometry
and analysis. Geometry pervades modern technology (medical imaging and
information security being two well known examples).
Part of the Discipline of Pure Mathematics in the School of School of Mathematical Sciences the
Institute for Geometry and its Applications (IGA) organises symposia and workshops and provides collaborative
opportunities to promote research in geometry.
The IGA staff currently are researching in wide range of subjects in the area of geometry including differential, finite, complex,
parabolic, affine, non-commutative, algebraic, and integral geometry together with other geometric topics in mathematical
physics, partial differential equations, index theory, K-theory, moduli spaces, information security, string theory, and
representation theory.
